No serious injuries were reported in the I-94 rollover crash east of Hartford.

Police, rescue workers and tow-truck drivers have been busy today dealing with a winter storm that has blanketed the region with snow and ice since Sunday night.

The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office had also handled numerous slide-offs and accidents that did not involve any serious injuries as shortly before 3 p.m., according to dispatchers.

A Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety dispatcher said there had not been many crashes so far today in the city, in part due to lower traffic volume on what is a holiday for many workers.
